I am not applying to any this week because I am new to trading. Which one is better for long-term Indo-MIM or Lohia Corp?

[Sandeep_Sharma]

Indo-MIM is generally considered stronger for the long term because it makes high-tech precision metal parts for global companies in aerospace, defense, and healthcare. Lohia Corp is also strong in its packaging-machinery market, but it is a 100% Offer for Sale (OFS)-meaning all the IPO money goes to existing owners, not to growing the business.

• Growth Sectors: Indo-MIM serves aerospace, healthcare, automotive, and defense industries.
• Technology Edge: Its MIM technology creates a strong competitive advantage.
• Global Customers: International presence supports long-term growth opportunities.
• India Manufacturing Theme: Benefits from global companies shifting supply chains to India.
• Future Demand: Precision components are crucial for EVs, medical devices, and aerospace.
• Lohia Corp Dependency: Growth depends more on industrial machinery and packaging cycles.
• IPO Fund Usage: Indo-MIM’s fresh issue can support expansion, while Lohia Corp’s OFS benefits existing shareholders.
• High Entry Barrier: Advanced manufacturing expertise makes competition difficult.
• Diversified Business: Multiple industries reduce sector-specific risks.
• Long-Term Potential: Indo-MIM offers a technology-driven growth story for investors.

@AakeebTrades

I like Indo-MIM Ltd. because of their technology work. But I am waiting to see if big investors buy it before I put my money in.

[AakeebTrades (Aakeeb Khan)]

@Sandeep_Sharma

Smart move! Checking institutional subscription (QIB) on Day 2 or 3 is a great strategy. Big investors have entire teams analysing company books, so high QIB demand gives beginners a much safer sign before putting money in.

[Keerthana]

@AakeebTrades

I am watching Indo-MIM. Do you think the share price is cheap or expensive?

[AakeebTrades (Aakeeb Khan)]

@Keerthana

At ₹461–₹485, it is priced reasonably compared to international peers in precision tech. Given their steady profit growth (over ₹500 crore in net profit) and global leadership in Metal Injection Moulding, many view the valuation as fair rather than overpriced.

[Keerthana]

I am new and my budget is small. I will skip this week and save my money for the next good opportunity!

@Keerthana
Protecting your capital is the #1 rule in trading! If your budget is tight, it’s always better to wait for a high-conviction deal rather than risking money on an issue just because of hype.

Zetwerk’s ₹5,000 Crore IPO: The Number Investors Should Really Watch

Zetwerk is going public with an IPO worth about ₹5,000 crore, and at first glance, the numbers look impressive. Revenue reached ₹15,913 crore in FY26, manufacturing grew strongly, and the company now works with thousands of suppliers while serving customers across energy, electronics, aerospace and defence.

But there is one number that matters more than revenue growth: cash flow. Zetwerk is growing fast, but its operations are still consuming cash, and that is where the IPO story becomes more interesting.

What does Zetwerk actually do?

Think of Zetwerk as a company that manages manufacturing for its customers. A customer gives it an order, and Zetwerk figures out where the product should be made, arranges materials, monitors production, checks quality, and manages delivery.

The actual manufacturing can happen in Zetwerk’s own factories or through outside suppliers, but the customer deals only with Zetwerk. That is the real value proposition: it takes a fragmented manufacturing ecosystem and makes it easier for large companies to work with.

Its customers include names such as Siemens Gamesa, Acer India, CG Power, NTPC Renewable Energy, DRDO and the Indian Air Force.

Not all of Zetwerk’s revenue is the same

Manufacturing contributed about 59% of Zetwerk’s FY26 revenue, while the other 41% came from Terra91, its raw-material trading business, which buys and sells products such as steel, aluminium and chemicals.

This distinction matters because not all revenue is equally valuable. If Terra91 buys material for ₹100 and sells it for ₹102, the full ₹102 is counted as revenue, but only ₹2 is left before other expenses.

So a large revenue number does not automatically mean a highly profitable business. Zetwerk’s overall adjusted EBITDA margin was just 2.65% in FY26, which shows that this is still a thin-margin business.

Growth is improving. Cash flow isn’t.

There are positive signs. Revenue jumped about 40% in FY26, manufacturing grew around 50%, and gross margins improved.

But then comes the uncomfortable part. Zetwerk reported about ₹421 crore of adjusted EBITDA in FY26, yet its operations consumed ₹682 crore of cash. In the first quarter of FY27 alone, operations used another ₹506 crore.

The reason is simple: Zetwerk often has to spend money before customers pay. It buys materials, pays suppliers, and carries inventory. Even after an order is delivered, the customer may take time to pay, which means cash gets stuck in inventory and receivables.

Inventory and trade receivables together are roughly ₹3,500 crore.

This creates an unusual problem: more growth can actually mean more cash is needed.

And that explains the IPO

What should investors watch after listing?

Revenue growth will still matter, but it should not be the only thing investors track. Three numbers will be especially important: receivables, inventory, and operating cash flow.

Are customers paying Zetwerk faster? Is less money getting stuck in inventory? And most importantly, is the core business starting to generate cash instead of consuming it?

There are reasons to be positive. Around 80% of manufacturing revenue comes from repeat customers, which suggests Zetwerk is solving a real problem. Paying down debt should also reduce interest costs and improve profitability.

But the next phase of the story is not simply about winning more orders. Zetwerk has already shown that it can grow.

Now it needs to show something harder: can it turn that growth into cash?
